Description

The replication code uses the javax.net.ServerSocketFactory class, which is not part of the core API defined by Foundation Profile 1.1. It is however part of an optional security package (JSSE) defined by the same specification, so it may or may not be available on the CDC platforms that Derby runs on.

Running the replication tests on phoneME without said optional package, results in NoClassDefFoundError:

We might fix this by rewriting the replication code so that it's not dependent on optional packages on CDC. However, there have not been any user requests for this functionality on platforms without that package, as far as I'm aware, so I suggest we just skip the replication tests for now if that package is missing.

The tests I've run on Oracle Java Micro Edition Embedded Client 1.1 (OJEC) have not revealed this problem, as OJEC comes with the optional JSSE package (it's version output lists "JSSE JSR219" under the components section). And since the reports from the weme 6.2 test runs don't show this failure, I think it's included there as well.

The attached patch (d5998-1a.diff) excludes all replication tests if the javax.net.ServerSocketFactory class is not available. I've verified that it skips all replication tests on phoneME Advanced without the optional package, it runs one replication test on OJEC (the others are already skipped because they require the network client driver), and it runs all tests on Java SE 7.
